Several major street projects have reached significant construction milestones this summer as work continues on more than $76 million in street, bridge and waterline improvements across Tulsa.
From North Tulsa to South Tulsa, crews are reconstructing streets, replacing aging waterlines, rehabilitating bridges and expanding critical transportation corridors as the largest streets project in Tulsa’s history – carried out primarily through Improve Our Tulsa – continues.
As construction continues, motorists may experience temporary lane closures, traffic shifts and detours in some areas. The City encourages drivers to plan ahead, follow posted traffic control, and use caution when traveling through active work zones.
